By designing a center classroom with a retractable glass wall, the architect created a number of classrooms and provided the option of having a large open area for department gatherings and receptions.

The east wall features new windows with a view to the Arch in downtown St. Louis. A previously inaccessible rooftop area was incorporated for outdoor access via an internal ramp.

Lighting elements were used as art in the elevator lobby and main collaboration areas to create a professional, cutting-edge feel as well as a sophisticated gray-white scheme with strong red accents for a timeless theme.
